i think it's more that nobody cares about an island where every animal afoot can laughingly kill humans. especially liberal, uberfag peta-types.

Bit of a myth really.
Most of our fauna is laughably cute. snakes, crocs and spiders are about the only things that are dangerous. I mean Nth America has bears and mountain lions and wolves and snakes and guns.
